At Cooper Union

On October 18, 2011 The Cooper Union inaugurated its twelfth president, Jamshed Bharucha. The inaugural celebration included two days of programming for the Cooper Union and New York City community, marking the beginning of a new chapter in the institution's rich history. These events, covered in the following pages, included student and faculty exhibitions, a colloquium on globalization and the future of education, a reception on New York City's High Line, and a street party outside of our historic Foundation Building.

In light of current financial circumstances, we've elected to publish At Cooper magazine in an electronic format, making it more cost effective, greener and accessible to a wider audience through our online presence.

Founded by inventor, industrialist and philanthropist Peter Cooper in 1859, The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art offers education in art, architecture and engineering, as well as courses in the humanities and social sciences.
